Even spaces as modest as 6′ x 9′ can be converted into a combination office, hobby, sewing and ironing room. Insider the cabinet, you can have a fold-down ironing board, work-top for sewing, handyman work station or more!

Take a fresh look at your space. A little creativity can make even a modest area go a long way.##
